Chapter 132 The crazy Manchester City duo, the biggest spoilers in the Premier League

After the fourth round of the Premier League, Sheffield United has achieved three wins and one draw. It has accumulated ten points and ranks third in the Premier League.

The top two teams have both won all four rounds, and their goal differentials are horribly high.

Ranked first is the absolute hegemon of the Premier League in recent years, the Red Devils Manchester United.

They scored 18 goals in four league games, conceded three goals, and won completely, accumulating 12 points and having a 15-goal difference.

Ranking second in the standings is another Manchester team, Manchester City.

They also achieved a complete victory in their first four league games. They conceded the same number of goals as Manchester United, only conceding three goals. In terms of goals scored, they scored 15 goals and had a 12-goal difference. This was also because

Due to the disadvantage of goal difference, Manchester City can only succumb to Manchester United now.

But except for these two strong teams, the other strong teams in the Premier League started this season a bit slow.

Chelsea was defeated by Sheffield United and currently has seven points from four league games, ranking only seventh in the league.

Liverpool has the same points as Chelsea, with seven points from four league rounds. However, due to the goal difference advantage, it is currently one place higher than Chelsea, ranking sixth in the standings.

Tottenham are ninth in the league with six points.

Arsenal is the worst, currently only with four points, ranking 13th in the league.

Mainly due to successive losses to Liverpool and Manchester United in the second and third rounds, the Gunners' ranking plummeted.

Especially in the third round of the league, Arsenal challenged Manchester United away and were beaten 8-2.

The scene at that time was extremely tragic. Li Mo felt a little unbearable when watching the replay. However, the players and fans of Manchester United were overjoyed. Lu Xiaopang also performed a hat trick. It was not 8-2, and Manchester United could not rely on a net win.

The ball advantage is over Manchester City.

However, these first few games can only show that several traditional strong teams are still adjusting their status. When the subsequent games are played smoothly, a wave of winning streak will be able to rush back to the top of the standings.

But the performance of the Manchester City duo still shocked all the media. Now almost the entire European media is reporting on the horrific start of the two Manchester teams.

Rooney, in particular, went into rampage mode at the beginning of the league.

He scored consecutive hat tricks and scored eight goals in four games, ranking first among the scorers with an average of two goals per game.

And the shooters below him are also amazingly efficient.

Dzeko scored six goals in four games, including a big four against Tottenham, but with such a performance he could only rank second in the scorer list.

Another Manchester City forward Aguero also scored six goals in four games and is currently tied for second place in the scorer list with Dzeko.

In the just-concluded fourth round of the league, Aguero scored a hat trick, and his condition was clearly visible to the naked eye.

Li Mo has scored three goals in four games and currently does not even rank among the top five scorers.

However, in terms of assists, Li Mo ranked third in the league with three assists in four games.

The top two assists players are still players from the Manchester City duo.

Nasri and Ashley Young both have four assists, and they are currently tied for first place in the assists list.

Li Mo delivered three goals and three assists in four games. This data is very beautiful and balanced, and compared to other explosive players, Li Mo contributed data in every game.

This is not easy. It shows that Li Mo can help the team score goals in every game and his performance is very long-lasting.

Therefore, Sheffield United's ability to rank third in the league after four rounds of league games can be largely attributed to Li Mo's continued outstanding performance.

This performance naturally once again attracted the attention of the major Premier League clubs.

However, after what happened with Villas-Boas before, the wealthy teams also learned the lesson and did not rely on the media to fuel the situation, nor did they contact Li Mo privately. They were all looking for connections to test the senior management of Sheffield United.

After all, if you want to introduce such a young talented player, it is unrealistic to get it done in the winter window. It is a normal process to establish a good relationship with the Sheffield United management now and formally negotiate in the summer window.

The senior management of Sheffield United still politely refused one by one. Now, the players in the team can be sold to anyone, to put it bluntly, but Li Mo is determined not to sell.

Chelsea previously offered 35 million pounds for Li Mo before the summer window closed, but Sheffield United rejected the offer without even looking at it.

If Li Mo is retained, the sponsorship from Hua Guo's father will only increase in the future, and now Sheffield United have to rely on Li Mo to avoid relegation. No matter how stupid the top management is, they are unambiguous on this matter.

But everything is still early, and the few wealthy teams who are testing it don't care. When they really want to introduce Li Mo, they will naturally attack the players first. For now, don't irritate Sheffield United.

Manchester United is naturally involved in this, but they are just testing it out. After all, even if they can introduce Li Mo in the winter window, there is no way to make Li Mo the core of the offense. Rooney is the core player that Manchester United cannot replace now.

Rooney's explosive performance this season has caused Manchester United to focus on this leading star from top to bottom.

Having scored eight goals in four games, many English media are now touting it. Judging from his performance, Lu Xiaopang will equal Melo in terms of statistics this season, turning the situation of absolute double pride into a trio.

But who could have guessed that Rooney was not even the top scorer in the Premier League this season, and did not score more than 30 league goals in the end. On the contrary, Robin van Persie, who had only scored one goal in the four rounds, won the league golden boot in the end.

Therefore, it is not a good thing to show the state too quickly at the beginning of the season. It is the last word to maintain the steady progress.

As for Sheffield United, at the end of the game against West Bromwich Albion, after Li Mo gave a locker room speech, all the young players faced up to their inflated mentality during this period.

After losing their impetuosity, the Sheffield United players began solid training.

In Li Mo's words, with the correct mentality, they can play step by step, game by game, and be more down-to-earth and pragmatic, so that they can become a real championship team.

The contents of the players' meeting in the locker room naturally reached the ears of the coaching staff. Speed ​​was very satisfied with this and did not talk to the players again.

He believes that with Li Mo, Chris Morgan and Montgomery here, the atmosphere in the team will not be bad and the players' mentality will not go astray.

The matters in the locker room should be settled in the locker room by the three new and old captains and other players. The coaching staff will not interfere. If they really need to communicate with the players, they can just talk to Li Mo first.

The next round of the league will start on September 17, and Sheffield United will embark on an away trip to challenge Bolton Wanderers, who are currently at the bottom of the league.

This team was only seven points above the relegation line last season, barely capable of relegation. There were no big-name signings in the summer window, and the team was not strong.

But after playing West Bromwich Albion in the last round, the Sheffield United players did not dare to be careless, and Speed ​​also started the pre-match preparations early.

West Bromwich Albion's playing style is equivalent to giving other weak Premier League teams a way to deal with Sheffield United. Bolton may also prepare to use pressing and strangulation tactics to play against Sheffield United.

However, the good news for Sheffield United is that Medel can return to form and start in the next game. At least now the team doctor said that after the past few days of repairs, Medel has no risk of fatigue injury.

With Medel, Sheffield United's midfielder will have one more stable point to get the ball. After all, Medel has good skills and is not afraid of confrontation when getting the ball in the midfield. The opponent will want to grab the ball like West Bromwich Albion in the last game.

The Sheffield United midfielder may be disappointed.

Coupled with Medel's defensive coverage and interception ability, even if the opponent steals the ball, Sheffield United can counterattack immediately and interfere with the opponent's quick counterattack. If nothing else, at least defensively, Sheffield United's

The midfield hardness and intensity are back.

But while Sheffield United was training hard and calming down, the outside English media suddenly started to praise Sheffield United for some unknown reason.

"Sky Sports" released a news prediction of the final team rankings this season, which ranked Sheffield United directly in fifth place in the league, which immediately attracted the attention of Premier League fans.

The analysis of the team's strength also lists a large amount of data. The article praises that Sheffield United's strength is now only lower than that of several major Premier League teams. Last season, Tottenham ranked fifth in the league and Liverpool ranked sixth.

It was moved down one place respectively.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of Tottenham and Liverpool fans, and even fans of some mid-tier teams also became dissatisfied.

Now that the league has only been played for four rounds, the outside media has almost praised Sheffield United to the sky. Li Mo, Drinkwater, Maguire and others have also been widely reported by the media. What future stars in the Premier League have the potential to become

Words like world superstar are added to them for free.

When a newly promoted team receives such attention, it naturally means that the traffic and popularity of other mid-tier teams decrease.

The popularity and attention cannot compare with Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea. They are convinced, but now even Sheffield United's attention has greatly surpassed them, and they are not convinced!

So what if the league starts with three wins and one draw and is undefeated?

Who doesn't want to eat dumplings? Even if Sheffield United is indeed capable, it will end in the middle of the pack. Do you really want to reach the top six in the first season after being promoted to the Premier League?

That’s what dreaming is!

Players from many teams have made up their mind that they must perform well when they play against Sheffield United. The media praises Sheffield United so much that if they win by then, it will also attract a wave of attention.

After all, in the great vanity fair of the Premier League, the players who can play the main role were all "geniuses" selected from a million. Who doesn't want to be famous and get a raise to earn more money? Of course, competitive dreams are important, but fame and money are equally important.

However, although there are many media that praise Sheffield United, there are also some rational voices among them. For example, the "Guardian" published an article saying: Sheffield United is worth looking forward to, but the current team still needs time to grow. Instead of growing in this country,

If we set a goal this season to qualify for the European competition, it is better to hone the team's tactical system and strive to achieve good results in the cup.

The "Daily Telegraph" also published an article, calling Sheffield United the biggest "spoiler" in the Premier League in the new season. After praising Sheffield United's midfield stranglehold and quick counterattack style under the leadership of Speed, it also suggested

Sheffield United should first maintain a humble learning attitude and continuously improve the team's problems during the game. Next season will be a good time to qualify for the European competition.

The entire Sheffield United team naturally also watches news from the outside world, and they are very interested in this article from the "Daily Telegraph".

The most powerful disruptor in the Premier League?

They like this title very much!

Li Mo and Maguire even adopted this nickname directly on the training ground.

After all, most of the current main players in the team are young men in their early twenties, and Li Mo and Maguire are not even nineteen years old, which is the time for "rebellion".

Even though he behaves very maturely in the game, there is always a youthful spirit in his heart.

Since we don't have the strength to compete for the championship yet, we should be the biggest spoiler and turn the Premier League upside down, making both strong and weak teams feel nervous when they meet them.

If they can't be the strongest team, then they can be the most troublesome team!
